However, the Syrian school’s monistic version is more typical of modern day Gnostic speculations, and especially of Radha Soami. According to a creation treatise written by the notorious Gnostic Simon Magus, "God," who was referred to as "The Root" or "The Unfathomable Silence," inadvertently stirs and thinks or reflects upon itself. This reflective process causes a thought to be formed, which immediately creates an imbalance in The Root, and the thought (female principle) becomes detached from the thinker (male principle.) Through progressive deterioration of the thought, she takes on a personality of her own, and creation both springs from her and clings to her in attachment. The creation then emanates down through the succeeding regions or spiritual spheres, the last (and worst) being the earth.
Similarly, Radha Soami teaches that the absolute being is Anami Purush (meaning "without name.") Before creation, Anami Purush was in a state of highly polarized self-absorbed consciousness. Suddenly an uncontrollable "commotion" began in Anami Punish and a sound was emitted - "SOAMI" - ("everything is within me"). Further sounds and vibrations followed, and the universe unraveled itself through a series of emanations that were divided into grand divisions or lokhs. Each lokh became darker (less spiritual) as if the light from Anami Purush dimmed in intensity. Here too, the positive pole of Anami Purush is male and the negative pole or manifestation is female.
A third area of similarity are the teachings on anthropology. The ancient Gnostics were well known for their deprecation of the body and the created realm, and because of this, they ran into opposition from the Greek philosophers. They divided the human being into body, soul (mind) and spirit. The former two were looked upon as creations of the demiurge and viewed with contempt - "Woe, woe, unto the shaper of my body!" - as a typical Gnostic text reads. The spirit was believed to be a spark of the divine and had to be freed from the body like a bird is set free from its cage.
Again, we find almost the same situation in Radha Soami. Man is a bird in a cage, with the body and mind trapping his spirit, which struggles to fly to the higher regions

We interpret Hermes as a figure associated with wisdom transmitted to man from divine sources. Historically, the name Hermes referred to several different personages:
The Greek god Hermes, son of Zeus and Maia messenger for Zeus god of commerce and the market; patron of traders, merchants and thieves the Divine Herald who leads dead souls down to the underworld inventor of the lyre, the pipes, the musical scale, astronomy, weights and measures, boxing, gymnastics and the care of olive trees
Thoth, Egyptian god of wisdom and science the moon-god, represented in ancient
paintings as ibis-headed with the disc and crescent of the moon the god of letters and the recording of time
The Roman god, Mercury, messenger of the gods messenger for Zeus had winged sandals, a winged hat, and a golden Caduceus, or magic wand, with entwined snakes and rising wings believed to possess magical powers over sleep and dreams
The mystic figure, Thrice-Great Hemes, who may have represented three different teachers in the Illuminist tradition described as a very powerful ancient mage, not a god in his writings, collectively called the Corpus Hermeticum, Hermes describes himself as "Philosopher, Priest, and King" wrote the Emerald Tablet and taught Pythagoras, among other exploits

"The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sense - he is "collective man," a vehicle and moulder of the unconscious psychic life of mankind." (from 'Psychology and Literature', 1930)

The fifteen tractates of the Corpus Hermeticum, along with the Perfect Sermon or Asclepius, are the foundation documents of the Hermetic tradition. Written by unknown authors in Egypt sometime before the end of the third century C.E., they were part of a once substantial literature attributed to the mythic figure of Hermes Trismegistus, a Hellenistic fusion of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth.
Hermes Trismegistus," as a historical figure, to the time of Moses.
Such monuments were used to serve as boundaries or as landmarks for wayfarers.
Crete and in other Greek regions a custom or erecting aherma or hermaion
The final step was what may be called the Mystery Liturgy of Hermes Trismegistus, of which The Discourse of the Eighth and the Ninth is often regarded as a good example. Here the Hermeticist is spiritually reborn in a transcendental region beyond the seven planets. His status is now that of a pneumatic, or man of the spirit. (Note once again the similarity with Gnosticism.) This level entails an experience of a very profound, initiatory change of consciousness wherein the initiate becomes one with the deeper self resident in his soul, which is a portion of the essence of God. This experience takes place in a totally private setting. The only persons present are the initiate and the initiator (called "son" and "father" in this text). The liturgy takes the form of a dialogue between these two.

Gnosticism (Greek: γνῶσις gnōsis, knowledge) refers to diverse, syncretistic religious movements in antiquity consisting of various belief systemsgenerally united in the teaching that humans are divine souls trapped in a material world created by an imperfect god, the demiurge
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panentheism
Briefly put, in pantheism, "God is the whole"; in panentheism, "The whole is in God." This means that the Universe in the first formulation is practically the Whole itself, but in the second the universe and God are not ontologically equivalent. In panentheism, God is not necessarily viewed as the creator or demiurge, but the eternal animating force behind the universe, with the universe as nothing more than the manifest part of God. The cosmos exists within God, who in turn "pervades" or is "in" the cosmos. While pantheism asserts that God and the universe are coextensive, panentheism claims that God is greater than the universe and that the universe is contained within God.[2]

Another is the God archetype, representing our need to comprehend the universe, to give a meaning to all that happens, to see it all as having some purpose and direction.
Jung book - archetypes and the collective unconscious
Is the subconscious created by a lack of control by consciousness or by an excessive amount of control repressing things
Since unconscious thoughts of feeling or those rising from the unconscious are not understandable by the individual then these thoughts and feelings must come from somewhere else. These differe from neurotic material in that neurotic material is commonly understood neurosis vs psychosis. Insanity is when these areas take over the role of the ego. This is insanity because there is no centralized control . it is by nature unorganized or controlled. Love hate grief also lend indivuals to be consumed by the unconscioius participating in acts they would otherwise avoid
The unconsioius contains both the future and the present in that is partially based on moments thoughout time while at the same tim preparing future actions and thought. Predicting future such as dreams.
Each person relives the path of human existence. Each person progresses through life the same. THIS IS TO SAY WE FOLLOW A PATH CHOOSING OUR OWN FILLER.
We think in years the unconscious thinks in millennia. We forget, like children, what has been repeated again and again. This approach of life as new and novel is a sign of the immaturity of the human consciousness.
Thinking man tends to neglect the influence in the same way that kids reject the importance of parents. Thinking happened before we could say I am thinking.
Most perils of the unconscious consist due to their danger to the conscioius.
Consciousness come from unconsciousness, like in a child. Therefore consciousness come from unconsciousness. If this were jnot the case did animals grow from consciousness to their current state of unsconsious
The ego emerges from the unconsciousness in to consciousness attempting to shut the unconscious out.
Intuition as a sign of UCs supiotety
The shadow as freuds UC
Female genes represented as the animus
The shadow and animus as forced sides demanding to be represented
Archetypes as formed personifications of the UC
These archetypes are often represeneted in mythology
Archetypes have a form but don’t have a consciousness don’t have an ego. They remain hidden or possible pulled out by chategorization.
We have no reason to suppose that the specific structure of the psyche is the only thing in the world that has no history outside its individual manifestations.
They are remenants of the way we have lived as a consciousness, collective psyche memories
Religious exultation is a consumptioin of the ego consciousness by the unconscious willingly
Individualization is the process of the various parts of a person coming in to harmony
